I was just wondering, I want to try and use a distinct parameter value in a formula. Can I do this by simply inserting the parameter reference into the formula in question?

Thank you.

Sure, unless the parameter is a range or multi-value type. parameter. In those cases you need to treat it a bit differently (e.g., as an array if multi-value).

What about referencing the formula in a running total.

Basically, I have a parameter that performing record selection for Service.

{V_NI_RECORD.SERVICE}={?Service) where service coould be "Neuro" or "Gen", etc. I also have a running total formula that calculates a count on the service field. The running total has a formula inside that I am using for evaluation:
{V_NI_RECORD.SERVICE}="Neuro". So you are saying that I can subsitute that actual value and place the parameter reference there instead?
